My first Volvo. 2000 V70 SE. Bought it in May with 144k on it. Needed a spark plug, a new radiator, and some brakes, charged the AC, and fixed a small head gasket leak with Bars Head Gasket Sealer which worked like a dream. Fixed it up with tons of help from MVS. I was lucky it came with factory racks, so I got the cargo box off craigslist, loaded the whole car up in Philly and moved to Florida this summer and it took it like a champ the whole way here. Threw some 20% tint on it all around when I got here and this has become my favorite car I've ever owned.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Took this other night in the parking lot of a local Target. I always park far away from wherever I'm going. Figure the extra steps will keep me younger/fitter longer. (Wife hates it so I try not to do it as much when she's with me. :lol: )

As I walked back to our car. I kind of fell in love all over again. Sure, there are noises I can't quite pinpoint, a creaky dash that I really should have gotten to already, and the headliner...

But, if I wanted a perfect car, I would be here...

I can't believe it's been over two years we've had her.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

"R" stands for "off-Road", right?
